He revolutionized

video games by focusing on

characters and game play instead

of high scores.

Miyamoto's

philosophies have influenced

the entire gaming industry.

When he was young

he drew comics. He joined Nintendo to design toys.

His most famous creations are Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, and the Legend of Zelda.

His own goal is to create "kyokan," a shared experience between a designer and player. "That's the point," he has said, "Not to make

something sell, but to make

something that we can love."

When Nintendo started making video games, Shigeru helped out by creating artwork and characters for the games.

Miyamoto's games are

inspired by sports, music, gardening, and his childhood explorations of Kyoto.

Before Donkey Kong,

video games were made by

engineers not designers. Miyamoto

knew that his first game would have to

sell well if he wanted to make another one.

Shigeru Miyamoto is a Japanese artist and video game designer.

He is considered "the father of modern video games."
